The Coffee thread

Perhaps if we come across some decent coffee be it ground, beans or just a bloody good cuppa you had somewhere then perhaps we can give each other a heads up on here.

I just bought 250g of Pónaire indian blend ground yesterday €6.50. I tried it last night and this morning in the French Press and I'm disappointed. It's fairly weak and has a bitter taste.

Costa are selling beans at their applegreen shop in birdhill and as lidl are selling me a coffee grinder today I wonder if anyone can recommend the beans? They also have ground for sale too. I think it was €6.75 per 250g.

So I walked as day was dawning
Where small birds sang and leaves were falling
Where we once watched the row boats landing
By the broad majestic shannon

Mahers coffee in Cork are pretty darn good. Their Blend Six is a top notch blend for drip coffee.
For day to day beans keep an eye out for the Italian specials in Lidl. They have 1kg bags of both Espresso (which is fantastic) and a regular blend for drip / french press (which isn't as nice as the espresso blend) for 8euro. And sometimes if they haven't sold them, 4euro

Haven't tried the Costa beans yet but stay away from Starbucks. They deliberately over roast the beans for the milky drinks.

If you're in Ennis stop into Suas Coffee in Ennis (top floor of Carrig Donn). They take their coffee very seriously (in a good way). Coffee is always beautifully smooth and strong although they'll make it whatever way you like it no questions asked.

It's an oasis in an otherwise barren wasteland. They use 3FE as their coffee of choice.
